*Andronicus 1st Comnenus, Byzantine emperor (1183-85), the most questionable personality of Byzantine History. He had a turbulent life and career and remained one of the the most interesting figures in Byzantine history. His love affairs were a topic of discussion in the Byzantine court, while his valiance and courage on the field of the battle were evidence of a man powerful and able enough to assume supreme authority. The charms of his niece, Eudoxia, attracted him and she became his mistress. In 1152, accompanied by Eudoxia, he set out for an important command in Cilicia. Failing in his principal enterprise, an attack upon Mopsuestia, he returned but was again appointed to the command of a province. This second post he seems also to have left after a short interval, for he appeared again in Constantinople and narrowly escaped death at the hands of the brothers of Eudoxia.He was a cruel and notorious ruler, but the same time he was a reformer who tried to remove the social and economic inequalities.He took strict measures to protect the peasants against the great landowners, chose competent servants for the administrative services, enforced honesty on the tax collectors, gave satisfactory salaries in order to avoid bribery and was the terror of corrupt officials. He used to say "There is no power enough to stop the emperor's will". Despite the nobility of his objectives, the means he used in order to impose his policy were anything but that. Especially in his struggle against aristocracy, he turned the governing of the state into terrorism. * Some books by Orson Welles Everybody's Shakespeare. scripts of The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar and Twelfth NightThe Lives of Harry Lime.
